Chapter 60 Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
"arrive."
Chu Xuan's voice interrupted the casual conversation between Zheng Zha and Li Shuaixi.
Chu Xuan tapped a few times on the control panel next to the door, then spoke:
"Be on guard, the door is about to open."
Upon hearing this, Geralt and the others grabbed their weapons and aimed them at the gate in front of them.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan pressed the red button on the panel again.
The next second, the steel gate in front of everyone slowly opened, but nothing happened.
Geralt twitched his nose and sniffed carefully:
"It doesn't taste particularly special, come in!"
After saying that, he led the way inside, and the others quickly followed.
After everyone had entered, Chu Xuan used the control panel again to close the steel gate.
At this moment, the tense crowd relaxed slightly.
The group sat on the ground in twos and threes, while Chu Xuan accessed the spaceship's surveillance footage and complete topographic map on the main computer in the control room.
Seeing Zhan Lan's pained expression, Li Xiaoyi asked worriedly:
"Sister Lan, are you alright?"
Zhan Lan forced an awkward smile and said:
"Aside from the pain, there's nothing wrong."
At this moment, Zhu Peng asked:
"Killing an alien actually earned me 500 reward points from the main god."
"Have you all received it?"
Geralt, Zhan Lan, and Zheng Zha all nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise:
"500 points, that's almost half the base earnings of a horror movie."
Zhu Peng sneered:
"Have you forgotten how you got those 500 points?"
"The alien monster is actually immune to ordinary gun attacks."
"No wonder it's so much more expensive than the crawler."
"The Supreme God truly doesn't do business at a loss."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi, who had been somewhat agitated, calmed down.
At this moment, Chu Xuan raised his head, looked at everyone, and said:
"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Zhang Jie said impatiently, "Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me."
Chu Xuan didn't pay attention and continued speaking to himself:
"Let's start with the good news: the location of the Alien Queen has been found. If everyone is ready, we can set off now."
"However, according to the monitoring on the spaceship, there are aliens lying in ambush at intervals along the only way to the alien queen's lair."
"Moreover, we didn't see any trace of that group of people on the surveillance footage, not even their bodies."
At this moment, Zhan Lan, her face slightly pale, replied:
"So, we're facing many more aliens now?"
Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, which had slipped down to the bridge of his nose, and nodded in confirmation:
"That's right."
At this moment, Zhang Jie said sarcastically to Chu Xuan, clearly displeased:
"Great scientist, do you have any brilliant ideas or solutions?"
After hearing Zhang Jie's words, the others also looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan ignored Zhang Jie's sarcasm and instead spoke up:
"I do have a plan to eliminate these aliens along the way with minimal cost."
Chu Xuan paused for a moment, looked at everyone's expressions, and said:
"The plan is to take them down one by one. The computer in the main control room can control the isolation walls on the spaceship to form individual rooms."
"As long as we have people, we can lure the aliens over one by one, and then use the isolation wall to separate them."
"In this way, we can eliminate these aliens at minimal cost."
When Chu Xuan said that someone needed to lure the alien, Li Shuaixi's expression turned noticeably ugly.
Clearly, Li Shuaixi felt that of everyone present, he was the most likely person to be sent to lure the alien.
Who made himself the weakest and injured? He was practically the chosen bait.
At this moment, Geralt spoke up and asked:
"Who do you want to use as bait to lure the aliens?"
Chu Xuan calmly scanned each person's face before speaking:
"There needs to be more than one person to act as bait; at least two are required."
"The aliens possess simple intelligence, and the surveillance footage shows at least five more aliens remaining, not including those in the alien mother nest."
"So to prevent the aliens from being fooled again, I need to use two decoys simultaneously, opening up two battlefields."
"This way, we can avoid the emergence of variables."
At this point, Chu Xuan seemed worried that the crowd might lack confidence, so he added:
"Based on our current combat strength and equipment, and by making full use of the isolation wall to divide the aliens, I am at least 9% confident that we can eliminate these aliens."
At this moment, Zhan Lan, who was sitting on the ground, also had a vague premonition when she heard this.
She felt that she was at least one of the two baits.
However, to Zhan Lan's surprise, Chu Xuan actually said:
"Therefore, the two bait candidates I have chosen are Geralt and Zheng Zha."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan's expression truly changed, and she stepped forward to speak:
"I'll be the bait. Geralt and Zheng Zha are the two strongest fighters among us. If the bait plan goes wrong..."
"Then we had no hope of turning the tide."
Chu Xuan disagreed, saying, "No, it's precisely because they are the two strongest that they can best carry out this plan as bait."
"They can guarantee that they won't die at the hands of the aliens because they're too weak before they lure all the aliens into the trap."
"Furthermore, based on previous battles, the aliens are not completely mindless monsters; they possess a unique killing intelligence."
"Geralt and Zheng Zha's appearance will surely trigger the mobilization of all the Xenomorphs in order to eliminate the most threatening individual among us."
"This way we can wipe out all these aliens at once; otherwise, the remaining aliens will definitely not fall for it again."
Instead, they will retreat into the lair of the Xenomorph Queen, completely retreating and waiting for the next wave of Xenomorphs to mature.
At this moment, Zhang Jie angrily cursed:
"Why didn't you go and be the bait? I saw that when you faced the alien's sneak attack, your reaction was extraordinary and very strong."
"If you go as bait, the aliens will definitely come out in full force to eliminate you."
Chu Xuan said expressionlessly:
"If none of you were capable of manipulating the barrier and accurately timing its deployment during wartime."
"For the perfect execution of the bait plan, I am willing to personally act as the bait."
Zhang Jie chuckled and was about to say something.
At this moment, Chu Xuan, who was standing in front of the central control computer in the main control room, suddenly frowned as he looked at the monitor screen, and then said in a completely emotionless tone:
"The decoy plan is off; everyone, prepare for direct combat."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around and looked at the surveillance footage.
In addition to the five aliens Chu Xuan had mentioned at the beginning, seven more aliens, significantly larger than the five, rapidly approached the control room.
"These aliens are maturing at a rate significantly faster than the aliens in the movies, at least three times faster!"
Chu Xuan looked at the seven unusually shaped aliens that had recently appeared on the surveillance screen and spoke.
Zhang Jie cursed with a grim expression, "It must be that the main god accelerated the growth rate of the aliens from the very beginning."
"I knew that 18 people wouldn't be that easy."
